Question

The direction of induced electric current is given by-

A.

Fleming's right hand rule

B.

Fleming's left hand rule

C.

Ampere's law

D.

Right hand thumb rule

Correct option is A

The correct answer is (a) Fleming's right hand rule

Explanation:
Fleming's right hand rule is used to determine the direction of the induced electric current in a conductor moving through a magnetic field.
• According to Fleming’s right hand rule, if you stretch the thumb, index finger, and middle finger of your right hand at right angles to each other:

  • Thumb represents the direction of motion of the conductor.

  • Index finger represents the direction of the magnetic field.

  • Middle finger gives the direction of the induced current.

Information Booster:
• Fleming's right hand rule is specifically applicable to the concept of electromagnetic induction.
• It is used in devices like generators where mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy.

Additional Knowledge:
(b) Fleming's left hand rule
• Fleming's left hand rule is used to determine the direction of force acting on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field, not the direction of induced current.

(c) Ampere's law
Ampere's law deals with the relationship between a current and the magnetic field it generates, not with induced current.

(d) Right hand thumb rule
• The right hand thumb rule is used to find the direction of the magnetic field around a current-carrying conductor, not for induced current.
